Tough week for us...

We lost our 27 year old son in July of 2013. Beautiful son, great young man, seeking his Phd at UT Austin in chemistry. It has changed our lives completely, and the loss never leaves. First thing we are awakened with, and last thoughts of the day are about our lovely. son.
Long story short..son and his wife expressed desire to cremate. Ashes went with her there to Austin. Some 3 years later, wife gets a phone call and it is revealed that his wife sent the remains (her)home to Mandeville when she decided to carry on with her life. Remains havd been in a box in a garage in her parents home in Mandeville for 2 frickin years!
Wondering why she or the parents had not contacted us about this, we quickly rushed over and retrieved his remains. It is our intention to inter his remains in our local catholic cemetary, and will be doing so this weekend.
Wife is having a terrible go of it. Like a second funeral for her. All of the horrible thoughts and emotions we have lived with are resurfacing.
I am very supportive of the Mrs, and am trying to understand her extreme anger. I am just so grateful we are able to do this one last thing to bury his remains with and among those he knew and loved.
If inclined, prayers, thoughts, or just good meaujeaux sent our way would be appreciated.
Kiss your kids. We never know when it is the last opportunity.

This is a message that is always worth repeating. Sorry for your loss.

No parent should have to bury their child.
I hope you find some measure of peace in this life and you embrace your son in the next.

We wonder the same. What kind of person would do this to a loved one or the loved one's parents?

Prayers sent, this sounds like some fricked up movie plot.

I have no idea what I just read.

His wife going forward with her life is understandable but having complete disregard for the remains of someone you loved is not.

Damn man, I hope you can find some closure
Glad you shared this, better to get it out than hold it in

Drank one night and took a sleeping pill. Aspirated in his sleep.

That is really sad... you have to remember though he’s not there. He’s gone on now. It will be nice to have a burial site and memorial to honor him though. Wishing you all the best in this difficult time
